Yes, you are trying to conect with a device that does n ot support 5 GHz.
But who knows? You don't provide enough information to diagnose things.
For example, what does "can't connect to it" mean?
- Curly9Jul 09, 2019AspirantWell my phone S10+ connects to the 2.4ghz band. I've tried remaining the 5ghz to something else to see if that was why and got it to show up for a second then gone. I've tried on my computer which isn't ax capable bit it doesn't show up there either. In the setting it does have check box checked for broadcast ssid

What firmware are you running on it?
What wireless card does the computer have in it?
The RAX120 does have the option to use dfs channels but some devices can't use dfs/aren't compatible. Which channels on the 5ghz band are you broadcasting on?
Have you ever been able to see the 5ghz channels?
- Curly9Jul 09, 2019AspirantThe .84 I have downgraded and updated too. The computer is ac but only showed n for some odd reason. I had the 5ghz show up for a minute or 2 and it disappeared
